MapReduce and

Hadoop Distributed

File System

1

The Context: Big-data

Man on the moon with 32KB (1969); my laptop had 2GB RAM (2009)

Google collects 270PB data in a month (2007), 20000PB a day (2008)

2010 census data is expected to be a huge gold mine of information

Data mining huge amounts of data collected in a wide range of domains from astronomy to healthcare has become essential for planning and performance.

We are in a knowledge economy.

Data is an important asset to any organization

Discovery of knowledge; Enabling discovery; annotation of data

We are looking at newer

programming models, and

Supporting algorithms and data structures.

NSF refers to it as “data-intensive computing” and industry calls it “big-data” and “cloud computing”

What is MapReduce?

MapReduce is a programming model Google has used successfully is processing its “big-data” sets (~ 20000 peta bytes per day)

Users specify the computation in terms of a map and a reduce function,

Underlying runtime system automatically parallelizes the computation across large-scale clusters of machines, and

Underlying system also handles machine failures, efficient communications, and performance issues.

From CS Foundations to MapReduce

Consider a large data collection:

{web, weed, green, sun, moon, land, part, web, green,…}

Problem: Count the occurrences of the different words in the collection.

Lets design a solution for this problem; We will start from scratch

We will add and relax constraints

We will do incremental design, improving the solution for performance and scalability

Addressing the Scale Issue

Single machine cannot serve all the data: you need a distributed special (file) system

Large number of commodity hardware disks: say, 1000 disks 1TB each Issue: With Mean time between failures (MTBF) or failure rate of

1/1000, then at least 1 of the above 1000 disks would be down at a given time.

Thus failure is norm and not an exception. File system has to be fault-tolerant: replication, checksum Data transfer bandwidth is critical (location of data)

Critical aspects: fault tolerance + replication + load balancing, monitoring

Exploit parallelism afforded by splitting parsing and counting Provision and locate computing at data locations

For our example,#1: Schedule parallel parse tasks#2: Schedule parallel count tasks

This is a particular solution;Lets generalize it:

Our parse is a mapping operation:MAP: input <key, value> pairs

Our count is a reduce operation:REDUCE: <key, value> pairs reduced

Map/Reduce originated from LispBut have different meaning here

Runtime adds distribution + fault tolerance + replication + monitoring +load balancing to your base application!

MapReduce Programming Model

23

MapReduce programming model

Determine if the problem is parallelizable and solvable using MapReduce (ex: Is the data WORM?, large data set).

Design and implement solution as Mapper classes and Reducer class.

Compile the source code with hadoop core.

Package the code as jar executable.

Configure the application (job) as to the number of mappers and reducers (tasks), input and output streams

Load the data (or use it on previously available data)

Launch the job and monitor.

Study the result.

Detailed steps.

24

MapReduce Characteristics

Very large scale data: peta, exa bytes Write once and read many data: allows for parallelism without

mutexes Map and Reduce are the main operations: simple code There are other supporting operations such as combine and

partition (out of the scope of this talk). All the map should be completed before reduce operation starts. Map and reduce operations are typically performed by the same

physical processor. Number of map tasks and reduce tasks are configurable. Operations are provisioned near the data. Commodity hardware and storage. Runtime takes care of splitting and moving data for operations. Special distributed file system. Example: Hadoop Distributed File

System and Hadoop Runtime.

25

Classes of problems “mapreducable”

Benchmark for comparing: Jim Gray’s challenge on data-intensive computing. Ex: “Sort”

Google uses it (we think) for wordcount, adwords, pagerank, indexing data.

Simple algorithms such as grep, text-indexing, reverse indexing

Bayesian classification: data mining domain

Facebook uses it for various operations: demographics

Financial services use it for analytics

Astronomy: Gaussian analysis for locating extra-terrestrial objects.

Expected to play a critical role in semantic web and web3.0

Hadoop28

What is Hadoop?

At Google MapReduce operation are run on a special file system called Google File System (GFS) that is highly optimized for this purpose.

GFS is not open source.

Doug Cutting and Yahoo! reverse engineered the GFS and called it Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS).

The software framework that supports HDFS, MapReduce and other related entities is called the project Hadoop or simply Hadoop.

This is open source and distributed by Apache.

29

Basic Features: HDFS

Highly fault-tolerant

High throughput

Suitable for applications with large data sets

Streaming access to file system data

Can be built out of commodity hardware

Relevance and Impact on Undergraduate courses

Data structures and algorithms: a new look at traditional algorithms such as sort: Quicksort may not be your choice! It is not easily parallelizable. Merge sort is better.

You can identify mappers and reducers among your algorithms. Mappers and reducers are simply place holders for algorithms relevant for your applications.

Large scale data and analytics are indeed concepts to reckon with similar to how we addressed “programming in the large” by OO concepts.

While a full course on MR/HDFS may not be warranted, the concepts perhaps can be woven into most courses in our CS curriculum.

Summary

We introduced MapReduce programming model for processing large scale data
